The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda are back this Friday! And I am ready for some Baby Yoda goodness. But I thought I’d do some predications on what I think is going to go down this season before the season starts and we see how wrong I am!
No spoilers for season 2! (But spoilers for season one below!)
Venus in the Blind Spot
By: Junji Ito
My first horror manga!
Honestly I think this might be my favorite manga yet. Of all the Junji Ito options I had to start with this one because I find the cover art so striking and that turned out to be a really good approximation of what’s inside.
The Phenomenon
Directed By: James Fox
I like aliens. And frankly if they wanted to overtake my government at this point I’d be more than happy to swear my allegiance but that’s a whole other story.
Anyway once I saw this documentary I knew I had to watch. Make a believer out of me.
We got a trailer for Dash and Lily!
Which naturally immediately made me wonder about the Six of Crows trailer… No, I really loved Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares and I’m actually looking forward to this one.
The Deathless Girls
By: Kiran Millwood Hargrave
Lil and Kizzy are twin sisters on the verge of their divining day (having their futures told) when they find their camp attacked by soldiers families killed and the survivors taken and forced into slavery.
The twins find themselves working in the Boyar’s kitchen and learning that the legend of human sacrifices to the “Dragon” is all too true.
So Time Magazine released a list of the 100 Best Fantasy Novels of all Time which since they started only from the 9th Century really just does away with the title of the list right there.
It’s also I think it’s too heavily stacked with recent releases and who the hell knows how they’re going to stand the test of time?
So being that I’m in the mood for some good thrillers/mysteries I was excited to see the trailer for The Flight Attendant pop up this morning!
And even better it looks really good…
Love and Monsters
Directed By: Michael Matthews
Boy the Dog is going to be hard to top on my year end list for Best Character, Smartest Character in a Movie, Best Doggie, Best Actor. Baby Yoda might be runner up for best sidekick this year!
Yes I really loved the dog 🙂
I’m going to ignore the Tatiana Maslany news in order to keep all upcoming news happy this week! Besides several people have reminded me that Marvel can be super weird and she might not be able to confirm her casting until there’s an official announcement. So I’m still crossing fingers there…
The Devil and the Dark Water
By: Stuart Turton
When Old Tom is summoned he whispers to you in the night offers your hearts desire for a bargain. And if you don’t bargain?
You die.
Which seems wildly unfair to me but that’s the situation the passengers of our ship find themselves in on their supposed to be 8 month journey home.
